Course: Out and back, north then south. Gradually downhill-ish out, so uphill-ish back. 13.something miles.
Weather: Slight breeze from south gradually getting stronger (as you'll see).
My first start time was 9:10 for my age group ride. By the turn around I was at 26.7 average at 251 watts. Turn around and BOOM I realize there is a wind from the south. Ouch.
First race over at 33:13, 24.1mph, 244 watts
25 minutes to change clothes and get back to the start house for 10:11 take off in the cat 4/5 race.
26.7 average again at the turn around, but this time the watts were at 229...uh oh, the wind picked up.
Second race over at 33:55, 23.5 mph, 234 watts.
The whole day was rough because I only got 2 hours of sleep (over the course of seven hours) Saturday night for some reason. Then racing twice and a long drive home.
I finished 6th in the 40-49 and 11th in the cat 4/5. Overall, I was 21st and 33rd out of 106 male riders.
Next race Tuesday. Then Wednesday if I feel like driving to Wright Patt.
